More Kids, More Often

Just a generation ago, the vast majority of kids that lived within a mile of their school walked or bicycled to get there. Today, that number is around 15%, and the childhood obesity rate and air quality issues tell the story. Join us as we encourage a new generation to embrace alternative forms of transportation that will improve the health and well being of everyone!

Thanks, Prairie Wind!

 We had a great time getting to know some of the dedicated staff and parents of Prairie Wind Elementary yesterday.  This is a school that is ready to take action to make it a safer and easier choice to walk to school every day.   Walking School Busses are a great possibility for this school, as are some policy changes regarding traffic flow.  This is a very big school, but even little changes can make a big impact. 

We are looking forward to working with them this spring to get the Stallions walking and rolling!

Thanks, Columbian!


Thanks to the Columbian Elementary PTO for having us out last night to talk about Walk 'n Roll to School!  Columbian is a great neighborhood school with some awesome potential for walking school busses starting at a designated drop off area. 

Now is a great time to start thinking about the potential for spring.  Church parking lots make excellent locations for walking school bus starting points - publish the location and starting time for your Walk 'n Roll days...instant walking school bus!
